Words that make you sound your age..

I've recently been successful at removing "like" from my vocabulary when it's unnecessary, and I'm trying to limit others as well..for instance "pretty much", "or something". What else is there?

/yes spider counts as well

Hm. I don't really use any "GenX" terms. Besides Chick. But that's been in use since the 70s. Well, I sometimes use dude, but its not every other word.

You can't pre-pwn or anti-pwn yourself, so other than "spider"... the phrase I'm attempting to eliminate from my vocabulary is, "I understand". Seem to say it alot a work.

cannot think of any other right now, but will when i try to go to sleep, no doubt.

and there are a lot of racial, religious and cultural words that we used growing up that were not meant in any harm, were rarely taken as offense that are now considered a hate crime to use.

I find your post shallow and pedantic.

aiight sounds kind of like 'ite' with just a little a before it. You would probably have to hear it to get it right though.

Like ah-ite?
what is it, like some new armor in runescape? I thought I had most of the last 30 years covered, but people are bringing up some word I've never heard of.

I feel left out and old

"pretty much" "random" "dude"

We started saying "aiight" back in like 7th grade, 6 years ago.

It's a play on ebonics to be honest. Basically it's alright in ebonics. "Aiight?!"
